Hey guys, the Shootout is right around the corner and this year we'll be making the journey from Texas again with Samara, So whoever is interested in joining us along the way is more then welcome too.

As usual we'll have our big GVR4 line up and unfortunately we cannot use cones that Friday up at Buschur Racing but we can still have a line up if we all show up early. So if you'd like to be apart of the line up try to get there early please.

I spoke to David about saturday and Sunday and he said we have permission for those days to cone off 15 to 20 spaces for Galant VR4's in the spectator parking area. So if you can't make it friday and you have a Galant VR4, come look for the line up of them and join us.

We're gonna be staying at the Super 8 in Milan ohio as its close to the track and also it's very cheap this year, it's only $315 for the whole weekend, so I highly recommend booking a room there because that's nearly 300 less than the previous years prices.


Also, I'll be getting a photographer to do our shots again so don't worry about paying, I got you guys. If you wish to have your car in the pics, please make sure I have your number because it's extremely hard to communicate with you guys if I don't.

Anyways here are some motivational shots of us from the previous years we've attended. And followed by that is all th Shootout info I copied from David.

Am I being stupid or interpreting this wrong....but "stock appearing" class that used to be the 14b/16g turbo class....is now open to basically any "bolt in" turbo (like FP3065, FP3052, FP "colors") for DSM style cars, because for Evo....those turbos are built into stock style housings and this is just a change from Buschur under the area of "I don't feel like running Tech inspection"...and allows a DSM to compete with an Evo in one single "stock appearing" class? Basically...real street tire cars with bolt on turbo, stock intake manifold, and full street exhaust?

If so...kick ass....Ill certainly be running 418/2000 in this street car/radial class. I think Nelson is bringing his Grey Ghost GVR4 which fits right into this class too! SWEET


EDIT: both of us have to slap a stock intake manifold on the cars.

Hmm ... I have so many projects going on ... we will see Nate! i think since this is my first time to the shootout I would rather just sit back and take it all in !! Meet some people in person and basically just hang out! 431 won't be ready in time !
584 is tempting in that class though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

I say I'm gong every year, then something always happens /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roll.gif

The plan is to drive 1837 and 820 out. We'll see how that actually plays out, though. 1837 would definitely make the trip, but 820 is still JSB at the moment.

Well, the Shootout is 2 weeks away, so who's in?

I've got a hotel room booked, and so long as nothing crazy happens in the next 2 weeks, both 1837 and 820 will be there. How are things looking for you guys?
